Safe & Painless Wisdom Tooth Removal for Long-Term Oral Health
Wisdom teeth are the last set of teeth to erupt, usually between the ages of 17 and 25 years. In many cases, they do not have enough space to grow properly, leading to pain, swelling, infection, crowding, or damage to nearby teeth. Wisdom tooth removal is a common oral surgery procedure that helps prevent these complications and protects your overall oral health.
At The Dental Arc Clinic, Sector 84, Gurgaon, Dr. Diksha Kakkar provides safe, gentle, and personalised wisdom tooth removal treatment using modern dental techniques. Every procedure is carefully planned after a detailed dental examination and digital X-rays to ensure patient comfort and a smooth recovery.
Whether your wisdom tooth is impacted, partially erupted, infected, or causing persistent pain, timely removal can help relieve discomfort and prevent future dental problems.
What Are Wisdom Tooth Removal?
Wisdom tooth removal is a dental procedure performed to remove one or more third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth. These teeth are located at the back of the mouth and often erupt during late adolescence or early adulthood.
When wisdom teeth do not erupt properly or become trapped under the gums or jawbone, they are called impacted wisdom teeth. Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can increase the risk of pain, infection, swelling, and damage to surrounding teeth.
When Do You Need a Wisdom Tooth Removal
- The wisdom tooth is impacted
- There is pain at the back of the mouth
- The tooth is causing swelling or infection
- Food gets trapped around the wisdom tooth
- The wisdom tooth is damaging nearby teeth
- There is gum infection around a partially erupted wisdom tooth
Types of Wisdom Tooth Problems
Wisdom teeth can grow in different ways depending on available space in the jaw.
Impacted Wisdom Tooth
The tooth remains trapped under the gums or jawbone and does not erupt properly.
Partially Erupted Wisdom Tooth
Only part of the tooth emerges through the gums, making it difficult to clean and increasing the risk of infection.
Fully Erupted Wisdom Tooth
The tooth erupts completely but may still require removal if it is difficult to clean, damaged, or causing other dental problems.
Horizontally Impacted Wisdom Tooth
The tooth grows sideways and may press against the neighbouring tooth, leading to pain or damage.
Wisdom Tooth Removal Procedure
Dental Examination
Dr. Diksha Kakkar examines your mouth and may recommend digital X-rays to assess the position of the wisdom tooth.

Wisdom Tooth Removal vs Tooth Extraction

- A regular tooth extraction removes damaged or infected teeth from any part of the mouth
- Wisdom tooth removal often requires additional planning because wisdom teeth may be impacted or positioned beneath the gums or jawbone
- The choice depends on the condition of your tooth and your treatment needs.
Impacted Wisdom Tooth vs Normal Wisdom Tooth
- A normal wisdom tooth erupts fully, aligns properly, and can usually be cleaned like other teeth.
- An impacted wisdom tooth remains trapped or grows at an unusual angle, which can lead to pain, infection, swelling, or pressure on nearby teeth.
- Your dentist will determine whether removal is necessary based on clinical examination and X-rays.
